I'm sorry, I imagine these guys have the best of intentions but this is just wrong.
There's no protection against malicious use of the service (load up a document? Oh please) There's no transparency - you can't easily explore or find out about any malicious use. There's no recognition that some disputes are genuine. I love this bit. Can I dispute the default registered against my business? Yes. You must be a member of CreditorWatch in order to dispute a document or registered default. Click here to become a member. That's right, for $24 a month you get the opportunity to dispute a document - if you're lucky enough to find out about it -and they'll "endeavour to respond ... within 3-5 business days" I think sometimes we get carried way with our own entrepreneurial and technical cleverness - and people's rights get trampled in the process. We set up the knowledgerights forum (knowledgerights.org) to highlight and examine just this kind of thing. Well - you asked for feedback Dale ;-) Steve On Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 5:21 PM, Dale <dale-hur...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi All > > We have launch CreditorWatch - http://creditorwatch.com.au > > As friends of Silicon Beach we have setup a promo code that will not > be ever matched again, sba1, which gives your first 3 months free > access.
